and no craig they dont have the best coach hehehe sorry but spurs and jazz do phil is overrated. about having the best player well i like this i read a while ago from a sports writer
“You say Kobe, I say LeBron. Or vice versa. Both of us are right. Neither of us is wrong. And neither is the guy who still prefers Tim Duncan”

right Ian

damned cursed!
L.A won there last Championship..like what.. 5 years ago?

thats no long!

If anything Houston is cursed!.. can we finally see a healthy Yao and t-mac for an entire season and not have a banged up or depleted team come playoff time?

Heck.. even the Clips fans can claim they are cursed.. but geeeesh!.. No the Lakers!

You got the best player in the Game, the best coach, the 2nd best franchise, and a big shot to go back to the Finals and win this time.. and you talk about being cursed!.. have you been living that good a life?

doug
comon man just because someone doesnt think your fav player is the best hes not an idiot.
guess what man for MY team give me a big man (duncan) or a pg(paul) everyyyy day over a sg of sf. i think big or pg are the two most imp positions in a championship team and as a lakers fan theres NO way u can tell me otherwise because for the first time ever the best laker is a sg and he hasnt won.

and no hes not the best playmaker and passer when he wants to goh with that.

craig
what u say about houston is true but i think they have a better chance cuz of matchups against the lakers than the spurs. yao trying to guard timmy will be ugly.

u lakers fan and say hes the best ok fine no prob but a hornets fan a cavs fan a spurs fan will tell u something else.

kermit
the lakers are cursed u gotta be fucking kidding me its like a yankee fan sayin the yanks are cursed because they havent won lately. shit man everytime theres some luck involved to win a series u can bet your car the lakers are on the winning end.

control

Austin Burton sounds like an idiot what is this new propoganda that Kobe is not the best player on the planet anymore what more does this cat have to do,MVP,Scoring Title,practically every scoring record,defensive first teams,nba first teams,championships,gold medal, Kobe is the best player on the floor all the time not 90% of the time,” Kobe Bryant: at least 28-30 points per, plus he gives you a chance to win every single night because he is the best player on the floor 90% of the time, and whether he chooses to play-act the whole “Smiley Mr. Fun Teammate” thing or not, he’s your best playmaker and passer”
This cat must be from boston

Hey Dime… who do you think is the scariest team in the L right now?
A team that strikes fear into the opponents when they look on the schedule to see their upcoming games.

i think its the Hornets!
I’m a Houston fan.. and the only team that terrifies me in the playoffs are the Hornets.
I believe with this Rocket team now can beat S.A, Mavs, Suns, and the Jazz, and give LA an extremely tough 7 game series.. in which anyone can win, but the Hornets scare the shit out of me!

You neva kno what Chris Paul is gonna do!.. he and David West can give you 60 points night!.. plus Peja’s deep shooting and the clutch James Posey!

Damn those Hornets!

Damn Righ!, Kermit the Washington!

This isnt like the East where Boston fooled around with the Hawks in 7 and was almost beat by the Cavs to realize what they had to do.. in time for Detroit and L.A in the finals

No slip-ups out West… cuz if you don’t come correct you can loose to the Jazz, Spurs, Rockets, Suns,and the very scary Hornets!

The potential is there, and I’m amp’d about this season and the legitimate chance for a ring, but there’s ALSO the potential for big disappointment for these reasons:

1.) INJURIES…this team is cursed somehow, see the past 3 years.

2.) THE PLAYOFFS…the west is NASTY, and only got stronger this off-season. Each round is going to be a huge battle; they’re going to have to play perfect ball throughout the postseason.

They will be a really good team for a few years. Yet never win it all b/c they will always be too soft inside. Kobe is one of the best ever but you have to have an enforcer on the inside to do well and I think Bynum already has to much of a chip on his shoulder to truly understand what he needs to do to for the Lakers to win. He also isnt worth 17 million dollars a year and I hope that becomes a major problem.

Tbeezy

I know you are, but what am I?

Ian has it right, jo/bosh, shaq/amare, duncan/keg of gatoraid. Any of those would be better than gasol/bynum right now.
